The Hoover Dam is considered to be structurally sound and safe, with ongoing maintenance and monitoring efforts in place to ensure its integrity. It was built to withstand significant stresses, including earthquakes, and is regularly inspected by the Bureau of Reclamation and other agencies. However, like any large infrastructure, it is not without risks, and emergency preparedness plans are in place to address potential hazards. Overall, the dam is regarded as a vital and reliable structure for water management and power generation.
